The seller offers for sale this 1960 Chrysler-Dodge Matador, a striking sedan that has been maintained and improved since its purchase in 2011. Over the years, the braking system has been upgraded to a safer dual-circuit setup, a retro-look radiator has been installed, and a refurbished steering gearbox has been fitted. The underbody has been ice-blasted and newly treated with epoxy for long-term protection. Its elegant two-tone exterior in coconut brown with a white-grey roof presents well, having been preserved in a heated and alarm-secured garage. The interior, finished in three-tone imitation leather with a metal dashboard and externally visible speedometer, remains in fine condition and captures the 1960s American luxury feel.
The Dodge Matador, built for a single model year in 1960, represented Chrysler’s bold styling direction at the dawn of the decade. With its distinctive fins, wide stance, and generous chrome details, the Matador combined performance and elegance in true American fashion. Powered by a robust V8, it offered smooth cruising and ample torque, appealing to drivers who valued comfort with presence. Its rarity today makes it a sought-after collector’s item for enthusiasts of mid-century automotive design, embodying the confident spirit of the era.
